The TV direction was shocking in Miami.
As usual. Who wants to watch live action when replays are readily available?The TV direction was shocking in Miami.
...and that, ladies & gentlemen, sums up the Miami GP - this is all we've got to mention after the race!The TV direction was shocking in Miami.
Brundle might as well have been on the moon for the amount of pre-race info gleaned! IIRC he only managed to get a few sentences from Christian Horner and that was only by sharing with DC. Not his fault but that grid was really too crowded for even the spotters to see where the drivers were let alone for him to reach them.Best part of the race was Martin’s grid walk and Ted’s notebook.
Just looked tacky IMO. If you're going to have a fake marina why not splash (pun intended!) a few dollars and dig a large pond which you could then fill with actual water instead of some daft imitation lino. Sure Austin may have that tall tower and cowboy hats a plenty but it doesn't feel the need to resort to obvious gimmicks to stage a GP.I loved the fake marina

It not always just about gaining more race information but also the comedy value of how he interacts with posers and him not always knowing who he is talking too.Brundle might as well have been on the moon for the amount of pre-race info gleaned!

Yes well I suppose it goes with the national that gave us Mickey mouse seeing as how we use that as slang for something which looks cheap!To be honest it being tacky was what i loved about it, so ridiculous but somehow really apt for that venue.

Haven't watched his Question Time appearance yet so don't know if he commented upon any, err, 'nuances' of our railway system...Good to see Seb enjoying a ride on a Juniper recently! https://twitter.com/thebishf1/status/1524757038663884801?s=21&t=uWskcDaWPShM1yZ_2DK1gA
No, but did on energy and the NI protocol "Brexit". Seemed a bit lost by it all, but his thoughts on Germany relying for years on gas from Russia were interesting, and with the NI protocol he suggested isn't an EU problem, it's a Brexit problem and those charged with Brexit should sort it.Haven't watched his Question Time appearance yet so don't know if he commented upon any, err, 'nuances' of our railway system...
Could easily have been 3&4 without late engine problems…Looking like Mercedes have made good progress in sorting their aero problems. Will be interesting to see if Russell is still outperforming Hamilton...
...and possibly even better had Magnusson not been playing dodgems at the start!Could easily have been 3&4 without late engine problems…
Russel's result was better, but I'd say that Hamilton was quite a bit quicker.Looking like Mercedes have made good progress in sorting their aero problems. Will be interesting to see if Russell is still outperforming Hamilton...
Mercedes is easily quicker although McLaren I think is only fighting with Alfa Romeo because Bottas is outdriving that car and so is Magnussen with the Haas. It will become less crazy once Verstappen build a point lead by winning all the races and Leclerc comes unstuck. Sainz doesn't have the consistency in pace to be a WC. Sad but I wish we could see Sainz hold up better.Yes they are fighting for third best team now with Alfa Romeo, McLaren and Haas.
What a crazy season this is!
Sainz seems to be following the Ricciardo road to nowhere. Maybe they need a cup of whatever Perez has been drinking though he'll be hurting after being shunted out of the way for Verstappen. Hindsight is wonderful but I can't help feeling both Sainz and Ricviardo would have been happier at their previous teams unlike Bottas who is driving his socks off!Mercedes is easily quicker although McLaren I think is only fighting with Alfa Romeo because Bottas is outdriving that car and so is Magnussen with the Haas.

Russell's racecraft was impressive as was Alonso's - 20th to 9th.Russel's result was better, but I'd say that Hamilton was quite a bit quicker.
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.Yes they are fighting for third best team now with Alfa Romeo, McLaren and Haas.

Sarcastic? Why so?Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.
Even before Spain it was clear that Mercedes would stay on top of AR/McLaren/Haas. It helps that each of the latter three teams is only really fighting with one driver.Sarcastic? Why so?
I posted before the race, it seems now the Mercedes are clear in 3rd and catching up.

Perez probably isn't hurting very much. He's got a seat in Red Bull for at least 5 years, Verstappen won't let him go anywhere after his heroics in fighting off Hamilton, and he won't have anything better on offer anyway.
I can see Perez finishing his F1 career at RB barring any odd decisions by Dr Marko and Dietrich Mateschitz.Yes its true, Perez will be disappointed but second seat at RB is better than pretty much anywhere else and if something did happen to Verstappen like an injury or illness for a few races Perez would be the one who got the push and potentially to WDC.
Aargh!!! Red Bull benefit from a crash yet again. It's getting very tiresome!
